Re: Wireless G Adapter for Desktop?

Um, I think that was PRE-N, wasn't it? I am a slave to standards, when they
exist and are followed. I have enough on my plate without having to screw
around with pre-standard hardware then worry for myself and my clients that it
may all be obsolete when the standards people finally get the standard approved.

The only advantage I can see to a USB 2.0 wifi adapter is that if you have
very
poor wifi reception, you have a lot of latitude (small l) to move around
the
antenna in an effort to improve signal strength. If your desktops have
more or
less line of sight with the router, an internal PCI 802.11b/g card is
unlikely
to have any problems transmitting a strong signal. On the other hand, if
the
computers are several rooms away, on another floor, and with microwave,
portable
phones and other electronics gear in between, you may want the added
flexibility
of USB 802.11b/g. That's been my experience in setting up a lot of SOHO
wifi
networks these last 3-4 years... Ben Myers

My two desktop PCs are directly connected to a wireless router via

The cables are inconveniently placed.

Would there be any downside in terms of speed accessing the Internet
if I used two USB 2.0 wireless G adapters such as this?:

My network would then be:

Cable Modem --> Wireless G Router
--> Laptop Wireless G
--> Desktop Wireless G USB 2 Adapter
--> Desktop Wireless G USB2 Adapter

I don't have a grasp on what the relative speed of the Internet, of a
direct connect, and of g-wireless are. (just for completeness any
comments on what n-wireless would bring might be useful too in case I
might want to wait for those adapters).
